WONDERFUL!
We're currently on episode 18, so it shouldn't take long for you to catch up if you can at least manage 3 episodes a day until you reach us

Anyhow even if you let it go now, I do recommend getting back to Shinkenger in the future. Trust me, Takeru really grows on you A LOT. Contrast his latest appearance in Goseiger vs Shinkenger with how he was in the early episodes of Shinkenger and you'll notice a stark contrast. Shinken Red has excellent character development and he's probably the best thing about Shinkenger.

I was much like Rama, actually. I'm not a super big fan of Fireball Reds (Ban is still one of the weakest characters in Deka because of it), but there was just something about Jan that made me instantly love him. It might be his naivete, perhaps.
But I just found Takeru to be a bore. Leagues better than Jayden, but still just boring. By having the series revolve around him, I just couldn't sit through it
I still intend on revisiting it, though, perhaps after I start and finish Go-Onger. Unlike some others here, I'm fully capable of altering my stance and opinions.
(Oh, and Genta tries way too hard. I can't stand him. Like, Genta to me is what Shunpei is to Switchblade )
